Generally, they are not admitted without a personal interview. University personnel will interview applicants in nearby countries where the number of applicants justifies the expense. If this arrangement is not justified, applicants are required to come to Puerto Rico on a tourist visa for an interview at their own expense. If an interview is necessary for distance learning students studying outside Puerto Rico, the interview may be conducted through means available to the student. The interview will be supervised by a proctor from the student’s locality, as determined by the University. If the applicants are approved for admission, the Admissions Office fills out the I-20 Form A from the Immigration and Naturalization Service which enables them to obtain student visas. This Form will not be filled out for students admitted to study outside Puerto Rico through one of the distance learning modalities.
